have played the mischief with certain
interests 10 this county which some
what affect all of us. The name of
Garrett has been connected with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for about
thirty years. The father OF the young
man who has recently been at the head
Of the company took the management
of the road when it did not amount to
much and made it valuable property.
While the public had reason to com
plain of its high charges, under this
young mans father, the management
was the least Objectionable of our rail
road managements Its stock was not
kicked about Wall street. 1t wUs not
used for speculative purposes. When
the father died the road was in splen-
did condition and making money, its
stock being worth over 2J0. The son
succeeded to the Office which his father
had filled. but he never flied it. He
found that drinking rum and riotiug
and conducting great business do not
get along we'll together Being rich Of
course the newspapers have touched
his great failing very delicately, but the
plain, simple truth is that young Rob
ert Garrett is a roaring drunkard, and
he has cone pretty nearly wreckng the
splendid property which his father
built up and left him The road be.
came so hard pushed for money that it
not only could not pay dividends, but a
syndicate had to take it in order to
maintain it; and the worst feature
about it is that there is danger of the
road finally falling into the hands of
Jay Gould which would mean no good
to the public.
AS it is this monopoIistic freebootcr
has got hold of the telegraph system
that belonged to the road and which
was the only competitor to the Could
Monopoly Telegraph. Gould is now
telegraph king Of the country, having
been able to 20 even further than usu.
al in establishing monp"ly as the e.
suit of starting cut under the preten-
sion of fighting monopoly. Jay Gould
first bought out The Atlantic and Pa
ciic telegraph company, and run it ip
opposition to the Western Union. He
made it lively, too, for the latter COM
pany. The unthinking public applaud
ed him, but the Rurdt said, Wait, you
will not applaud long; and the public
did not. II e Western Union tumbled
into Mr.. Gould's lap, and he at once
issued watered stock to an amount that
makes the stock of the company to day
represent more than five times the cap
ital that would establish the entire sys-
tenn; and the public is made to support
it, Now he has bought the Baltimore
and Ohio system, and his mastery is
complete. And all this misfortune is
the result of young fellow filling his
head and stomach with rum. There
are several lessons in the story and we
think the reader can fin them - ".

Care of Breeding Sows.

When the sow has been properly fed
on coarse and cooling foods, so that
she is not in feverish condition, she
may be exp cted to do we'll unless over
fed after the pigs are born. This is
often the case, and the effects are in
furious. Strong food of any kind
should be avoided, as it tends to in
flame the blood, which is always, at
such time in a more or less feverish
condition. This fact is quite too oft
en- overlooked, and the owner thinks
he must brace up his sow with plenty
Of good food. This is the worst thing
that he could do, as it over stimulates
the milk glands, and thus inaames the
udders.
When the udders are inhamed they
are very sore, and the sow will often
refuse to let the pigs suck, although
she will lie down frequently ln jump
ing up she is sure to step on some of
the pigs and either kill them outright
or iniure them badly. The sow should
be in such condition of health, that
she will not get up for hours after the
pigs are born, nor while they are be-
ing born, This is the natural course,
and when a sow has the run of a field
and can get all the grass she wants
previous to the time of farrowing, she
will not leave her next for two or three
DAYS. Under such circumstances she
seldom loses pig, and rarely has any
trouble with her udders, 1t is not the
size of the udders which makes the in
fammation, but the condition of the
blood; although when the udders aie
large, the flow of milk is usually in
proportion, and the food should be re.
duced to a little thin slop for few
days. 1t should be gradually increas-
ed for week or ten days before full
feed is given. An excess of milk will
cause the udders to become hard, stop
the flow, and dry up the secretion.
When a SOW has had this kind of
trouble once, she is untitled for moth
er and should be tattened.-Ameracdn
Agriculturist.

Investigations and tests by Chemist
Babcocll at the New FORK experiment
station have thus far tailed to reveal any
definite influence Of food upon the quail
ity Of milk, but the feed has great infu
ence upon the viscosity of milk, and
therefore upon its churning qualities.
says the Journal Of agriculture. The
cream of milk consists Of globules Of fat
that have no membrane, but are cover
ed with fil'n of yiscous Cor adhesive
and sticky matter which prevents their
amalgamating or becoming butter
unless churned. The smaller these
globules are, the harder it is for them
to break away from the viscous matter,
and the slower the butter is coming.
Ofcourse the more we can remove this
wise rus matter, the quicker the butter
will come, and the mole completely
will the butter fat be extracted This
explains why cream raised from watered
milk "comes" more quickly, the water
having weakened the strength of the
viscous matter. The hutter was found
to come still more quickly when this
process was carried further: thus, draw
off the skimmilk from a Cooley can,
but leave the cream; fill the can with
water aud let it stand few hours; the
washed cream will come more quickly
and produce more butter than other
wise.

Remember, now that winter is COM
ing again, says the Journal of Agricul-
ture, to arrange for a supply OF stock
water that is not as cold as ice. Cows
are much better off in warm stable,
we'll ventilated, in cold stormy weather,
than to be turned out for several hours,
to 60 off some distance to drink at
spring or stream, or even at a trough in
the yard. There is no necessity in the
health of COW, to give her exercise in
the open air every day, and economy
requires that she should only be let out
on pleasant days and returned to the
stable before she gets chilled. The first
winter will often pay for the whole out
lay in the better condition of the cows
and we think also the saving in labor
sufficient compensation for the outlay,

Perfect Ancestors.

We have this year received more in,
quiries, it seems to US, with reference
to the treatment of colts for one diff
Guilty and another, than we have ever
received in the same length of time in
our experience. In the cases brought
to our attention. heredity may hive
played no part. But the inq uiries have
suggested to US the very important fact
that there is a great deal of reck lessness
in the selection of mares and even stal
lions in our horse breeding. There are
hundreds of mares bred simply because
they are mares There is no thought
given to their fitness. They may be
blind, ringboued, spawned, splinted or
wind broken. Now if we get perfect colts
from such dams, it is sheer luck. The
mare is apt to transmit any imperfection
that she possesses, physical or in the
way of disposition. Adirondacks Muir.
ray affirms that he once owned mare out
of which he could get the very counter.
part of any stallion that he bred. But
it is very seldom that such passive
organization can be found in mare.
Generally the laws of heredity act, to a
greater or less degree, in transmitting
characteristics and defects which it
would hardly seem possible to transmit.
If we desire to be certain of baving a
perfect colt we must breed from per-
feet mare; and while we use as breeding
stock the lame and blind mares, we
must not be surprised if we have lame
and blind colts. In many cases our
horses are put to greater strain than
they are able to bear without injury to
them. Sometimes they are put to work
too young; and when they break down
We breed from this stock. 1t is all
wrong.

..The EalI Man,

The above is the subject of an address
by Mrs. f. J. I. Lippincott, we'll and
favoraby known here, in the Opera House
tomorrow night under the auspices OF the
w. G. 7. |. Mrs. Lippineott is coming
into prominence as an acceptable speaker
upon her chosen subject-temperance-
should be greeted tom orrow evening with
full house. We give below a few news
paper comments upon this lecture as de-
livered elsewhere:
Mrs. L. J. Trimble Lippincott, of Phi la
delphia, delivered lecture at the Unitarian
church last evening on temperance, under
the auspices of tie Woman's Christian
temperance Union. She treated the sub
ject from literary standpoint and quoted
freely from the ancients, both historically
and POLITICALLY. The lecture was beauti-
full one and several strong points were
made against high license. The lecturer
spoke over an hour and made most favor
able impression. Mrs. Lippincott is quite
well known as a lecturer on literary topics
but is new recruit on the platform for
temperance, in which field she promises to
become most useful worker Whining
ton (DeE.) E'oery Eoening, Noe. ?0th.
Last evening Mrs. L. J. Trimble Lippin-
colt, of Philadelphia, delivered her tenn
perance lecture entitled THE Fall Of
Man, to large audience in the lecture
room of the First Baptist church. The
lecture was the same as delivered to the
Normal students in the chapel on Sunday
evening. and was very entertaining The
evils of intemperance as shown upon the
individual addicted to the habit OF drink,
upon society and even as blot upon our
Government were dwelt upon in practi-
cal, straightforward manner. Her lecture
sayored very strongly of that high literary
tone for which the lecturer is noted, and a
more careful and forcible presentation of
the subject is scarcely, if ever, heard Mrs.
Lippineott is highly cultured woman and

and further the cause of temperance when
they brought her to West Chester. There
